You really think they’re capable of pulling off a conspiracy like that without leaks?

NPU neural processing unit

They’re trying to leverage their windows platform to seek rent (sell premium cloud services like LLM access) for shit people don’t even want because they aren’t satisfied making very respectable money on licenses.

They should also be opt in. Having a subdomain that almost no one knows about and requires adding a search engine to browsers to make default which most people don’t even know you can do is not good enough.

Yeah the DE is your desktop, launcher, window manager, setting manager etc. So Gnome, KDE Plasma, mutter, etc. It is what most people will notice.

The distro is basically a package manager and assembly of packages. So if you were to use ubuntu for instance, there is a default DE, but you’ll notice there are a bunch of “flavors” available. These are mostly different desktop environments and default applications, but all of the stuff in any of them are in the package lists and available to install regardless of flavor.

The main differences between distros are

• release cadence
  • fixed. They release a major update on a regular schedule and only backport bug fixes and security patches
  • rolling. One package set that every installation always updates to latest
• package management
  • some are able to manage packages purely by GUI and some you must use the command line (or if you can use GUI at some point you might have to fall back because it doesn’t have first class support)

Many distros you don’t even have to do anything but install packages to switch desktop environments, which are really what people are recommending when they’re trying to say what is similar to mac

Service (daemon) lifecycles are managed via the system services api.

Don’t have a quick answer but I would guess that is an electron app so maybe there is some troubleshooting in that direction

Long running headless processes on windows generally still have an event loop and a window handle via which they process those messages.

It’s for illicit hand holding

You’re right about Linux but you’re wrong about windows. It is sent to the event loop in windows https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/winmsg/window-notifications. It’s been a long time since it was my job, but you actually had to pass a certification that your application exited gracefully in response to these messages as part of the partner program back in the day.

The latency from using steam link or moonlight in my house drives me insane. I don’t know how anybody doesn’t hate cloud gaming solutions

Tapped out at the paragraphs long diatribe about how date is an object…

Happy to help! Arch wiki is often a great resource even when using other distros

You can and should make your point without denigrating labor movements.

Just FYI, using the term luddite derogatorily may not be as cool as you think it is. They were essentially an instance of organized labor flexing their power and not really “against technological advancement” like the term gets bandied about.

The problem with surveillance tech is that even if it was initially implemented with the best intentions by good people that aren’t seeking to abuse it, it can change hands.

It’s just to give away taxpayer money to their fascist buddy.

That’s cute, but you’re complaining about people expressing their opinions on a platform where the entire point is to comment on posts…
